Disney XD signs up Star Wars Rebels for third season

“I saw myself in Times Square”.

The Hollywood Reporter say casting directors are ‘looking for someone who looks at least a bit like a young Ford…and can be amusing and charming as well as handle the expected action scenes’.

This is a first for the Star Wars saga, as technology like this was not available during either set of trilogies. “It was great to see old friends”.

Ahead of some big movie called Star Wars: The Force Awakens hitting cinemas this month, Disney’s announced that it’s given a third season of spinoff cartoon Star Wars Rebels the thumbs up.

The only thing better than watching “Star Wars”?

Jakku Spy was created by Industrial Light & Magic’s and Skywalker Sound’s immersive entertainment laboratory with a little assistance from Google and Disney. Everyone from Bendict Cumberbatch to Michael B. Jordan and Saoirse Ronan auditioned for “The Force Awakens” before J.J. Abrams ended up picking relatively unknowns to play the leads.

You have a Stormtrooper, villain Kylo Ren and two of the droids, R2-D2 and BB-8, to choose from.

Speaking on “Good Morning America”, he said: “It’s so good”. In some cases they’re digital sets, in some cases they’re photography – just like the way we make the movie, with a mix of different techniques.

Fallon also managed to throw ice on him, which must surely bring back all kinds of traumatic carbon-freeze memories… oh, wait, are we confusing fiction and reality again?

Of all the announced Star Wars spin-off movies coming in the next few years, one of the most intriguing is the untitled young Han Solo film directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord. A spokesperson told me that supplies will theoretically last a couple of weeks, although that seems optimistic given the excitement around Star Wars. And what point is J.J. Abrams making with it?

I won’t ruin it for you, but a certain droid delivers a message to you. “Getting to experience it in a first-person way, right up close, is fun”.
